Because He Wants To Wait

Wilson and Ciara have put their sex life on hold so they can focus on building a relationship the way they believe God intended them to. Wilson recently recalled the moment he made that decision: “She was on tour, and I was looking at her in the mirror, and God spoke to me. He said, ‘I need you to lead her.’ I told her, ‘What would you do if we took all that “extra stuff” off the table, and just did it Jesus’ way?’”
